Putumayo Presents: Latin Lounge

12首狂扫拉丁美洲Lounge Bar招牌曲目一网打尽, : 阿根廷Tango/古巴Son/巴西Bossa Nova/哥伦比亚Cumbia: 中南美传统音乐调合电子时尚节拍的极緻之选 演奏(唱)者 ： 包括多乐风组合乐团、歌手如Alacran／Roberto Poveda 罗贝托／Bebe 蓓比 ... 演唱。用真实乐器演奏的世界音乐(World Music)，与用机器泡製的电音舞曲(Electronica and Remixing)，原本是两条毫不相乾的路，近几年许多DJ开始将此两者巧妙结合，诞生了所谓的Lounge及Chill-Out音乐，不同於一般摇头乐，Lounge所呈现的是一股慵懒舒适的异国时尚风情，此乐风从此大行其道。不同的世界音乐元素，会展现出不同的Lounge风味，拉丁美洲一直是世界音乐的宝库，音乐类型眾多且广受各地喜爱，如阿根廷的Tango(探戈)、古巴的Son(颂乐)、巴西Bossa Nova(巴莎诺瓦)、哥伦比亚Cumbia(酷毙亚)，当这些传统音乐遇到电子混音，展现出极尽现代都会的奢华与多变个性，我们称此为「拉丁小酒馆」(Latin Lounge)。 A remarkable revolution is taking place in Latin music these days, as electronica and remixing meet the more traditional rhythms of Argentinean tango, Afro-Cuban son, Brazilian bossa nova and Colombian cumbia. On Putumayo’s new collection, Latin Lounge artists such as Sidestepper, Si*Sé, Charanga Cakewalk and others prove that there can be a magical blend of modern musical trends and traditional Latin styles. While Latin Lounge features several internationally known artists, it also highlights discoveries such as Bebe, a singer-songwriter whose recent collaboration with electronica DJ Carl Jean has made her a star in her native Spain. Another rising star is the Spanish band Amparanoia, a leading band in the mestizo (mixed) movement, so-called for its boundary-crossing blend of flamenco, Afro-Cuban music, hip-hop, electronica and other influences. Latin Lounge is the latest in a series of successful Putumayo releases focusing on exciting new directions in down tempo electronica and world music that includes the collections World Lounge, Euro Lounge and Sahara Lounge. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Oxfam America in support of their development efforts in South America.
